My dislike of flash is that it doesn't build on FreeBSD, unless I use
the Linux ABI, which means I have to download and install a bunch of
Linux libraries (which really is trivial, portupgrade -N linux_base),
but then I have to use a Linux browser, which means I can't modify said
browser (namely phoenix) because I'd need a linux box to compile it.

Also, I've only seen one useable flash site, the rest just annoy me with
eye-candy, and block navigation (which is _especially_ annoying when
using w3m, as I often do).
